The Late Show With David Letterman featured Mick Jagger, who shared his insights in a segment titled ‘Top 10 Things I, Mick Jagger, Have Learned After 50 Years In Rock N’ Roll’.
During his appearance, he playfully jabbed at the Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera song that alluded to his dancing, stating: “You don’t earn a cent when someone does a song called ‘Moves Like Jagger’.”
Jagger made his way to New York prior to the Rolling Stones’ special appearance at the Hurricane Sandy benefit concert at Madison Square Garden. This marked his return to the Ed Sullivan theatre, where he first performed alongside The Rolling Stones back in 1964.
Additionally, the band is set to perform at sold-out shows in nearby New Jersey.
The top of Jagger’s list of ‘Things that he’s learnt in Rock ‘n’ Roll’ was his humorous observation: “At first, you do Rock ‘n’ Roll to do drugs and have lots of sex…but you end up doing drugs to do Rock ‘n’ Roll and have lots of sex.”
Keith Richards mentioned that the band has yet to formulate plans for the upcoming year but expressed his desire to headline Glastonbury if the opportunity arises.
“That’s a good one,” he remarked regarding the Glastonbury speculation. “I’m really going to be guilty here of leaving that one up in the air. I mean I’d love to. But look, I don’t know anything about next year at the moment, I really don’t. We’re just getting this year under our belts. But anything’s possible, that’s all I can say about it. But if it could happen, I’d love to.”
